You must turn in your project in both of the following ways:

1. D2L: Upload all required materials to the appropriate assignment dropbox on D2L.
2. Hardcopy: Bring a physical copy of all required materials to our classroom (C-1100). All pages must be stapled or collected in a folder.

This project is worth 8% of your final course grade. In addition to being graded on the accuracy of your return positions, you must also abide by the following instructions to avoid losing points:

• You may use any of the forms, instructions, and materials contained on www.irs.gov. You may also use your textbook for guidance, but keep in mind that you are completing a 2020 return, so it must be prepared using the law in place in 2020 (for reference, the textbook teaches the 2021 law).
• You must complete this project without using any online tax preparation software or the aid of any professionals. Each person/group must prepare their own tax return rather than simply copying portions from another source (e.g., another person’s/group’s work).
• You must handwrite the tax return. I recommend that you use a pencil.
• You must sign your income tax return as a paid preparer. By signing the tax return, for purposes of this class, you are promising that you have complied with the instructions for this project and have not violated the GGC Honor Code in preparing your project. If you work as a group, then each member of the group must sign the return.
• You must write your name(s) at the top of the front page of the tax return.

If you believe there is information missing, you may make reasonable assumptions and fill in the missing information as you feel necessary. Be sure, however, to note your assumptions.
